Can we? Yep

Will we? Who knows.

This ^^. We are our own worst enemy, confidence and belief will play a big part this year. If they forget the crap of the past, with the new players and hopefully improvement with the current group, we could make it as high as 4th IMHO or as low as 14th if the wheels fall off early and the belief fades away again with the player group.

Oh and our game plan has to change to move the ball faster or player improvements are all moot.

Our game plan will change don't worry about that :


 :pray




Can you elaborate on that at all? Have you it heard from a good source? Or just wishful thinking?


A very good source. Can't elaborate that much but Caracella has been the best recruit after last years disaster and is having a massive impact at the club.

Like Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares, give it time and Chef Hardwick will revert back to the old menu.
Now theres a tv program,
Xxxxx Coaching Nightmares...who would run it?
Leigh Matthews Coaching Nightmares?
Or would we need some overseas talent?
Would love to see RFC publicly dissected

After meeting those in charge.....

We won't make the eight.

Simply not enough quality bookends. Midfield depth also questionable. Too many peahearts and crap tackling.

If I may.

Why is it we only ask if this team can make the eight ?

That in itself is an admission of poo.
Caracella and Balmey.

Well, if we would ask anything more then it would be a tantamount to a troll...
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

It's funny, at the start of 2016 we were being heavily backed to finish top 4. 
Here we are 12 months later with basically the same list minus Chappy, Ty & Lids but added Caddy Prestia Nank and we are now a bottom 4 side?
I think we might surprise and think we never got over that loss to Collingwood in round 2.  I know I didn't.

How did we ever lose that game anyway?

Hampson not manning up IIRC. Or was it a tap to collingwoods advantage 10m out?

Refer to Hampsons highlight page and bump it while you're at it, it's due. Unfortunately I cancelled my AFL subscription so no longer have access to match replays and can no longer update with GIFs :(. Maybe when the season starts...
